Install Ubuntu and run Windows as a virtual machine in
Virtual Box just apt-get it in Ubuntu. Its easy peasy even for you
I reckon you should get Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 for a box like that. Vista has pretty much flopped and does not seem to be that widely used.
You can
turn off UAC in Vista which stops all the stupid question popups but there is no getting around the fact that Vista is a big fat hog

forgot to say you may find it difficult to find a virtual machine that supports 64bit guests

i dual boot vista and xp. xp is my main os but vista is good for some things ( i agree, uac needs to be turned off). i ran out of time with ubuntu so have saved the triple boot for anorther day.

Why not
dual boot with osx and windows7. I am hearing good things,
Very easy to do now days as well, get iatkos.. and you dont need a degree in computer science to get it working. I got it all working in a day.
Not bothered with linux as x windows will never match aqua.. . and darwin is unix anyway

Can I game in Vista on virtual box?
It would be sweet to be able to switch between all the OS's I have to support and have them all access the same disks.
